Review on Panasonic LUMIX GX9 4K Mirrorless ILC Camera Kit with 12-60mm F3.5-5.6 Power O.I.S. Lens, DC-GX9MK (USA Black) by Eric Basler

Great camera and lens combo

I've only been using the camera for a few months but am very impressed so far. IBIS works well and the lens produces very clear images when covered a bit. I've used continuous autofocus with my dog walking around the garden with good results. The camera is compact and solid and the menus are easy to navigate compared to my previous Sony RX100M2. Probably the main limitation of this kit (other than me, the user) is the slower nature of the included lens. This is a great touring lens for good lighting, but I'm looking for a fast prime lens for low light/indoor use. You should look for an external charger and extra batteries as the battery life isn't great. I've found that two fully charged batteries last most of the day, but I still carry a third just in case. I've only used the power of video briefly, but I know it can do more than I'll ever need in this field.
